No need to walk in the opposite direction,
He is probably a very nice man.
I can get over his lousy hygiene,
So long as him and his children spend the weekend at my place.
Now I'm really intruding, aren't I?
I always knew my poor social skills would be the death of me,
Oh well, at least we got a free meal out of this.

The bad time you had in the spring time was a warning of things to come,
A hot summer full of flu vaccinations and strep throat.
You were so sick.
I was so happy for you,
Because, that hospital is truly my sanctuary.
The white floors are moderately endearing,
And the custodial staff has always been cordial.
Just stay out of the cafeteria, okay?
That was **ours.

I do not trust the man upstairs with my personal information,
I see no need to let Him in on my affairs.
I told him that I would explain the status of my relationship when I was ready,
but He had no respect for my privacy.
I hung up the scarf for the final time that day,
I was no longer pursuing my dream of working with my hands.
He didn't like that.
"Nonsense," he howled in my face.
I can barely believe how uncouth this fellow is.

Get off my porch,
it's mine.
It was mine when I got here,
It is mine when I go to work,
It is mine when I go to the movies,
It is mine when I go to the liquor store.
When I stumble into the house after a long night of promiscuity,
It's mine.
When I shoot a man in the head, and place my hands on his ****** corpse,
It's mine.
You can have it when I'm gone, though.

I never thought you were the type of guy to buy drugs,
you never even have milk with your cereal.
I wish I hadn't known about your double-life,
At least try to make one of them good.
You have no right,
Going by your first name under the sun,
and your middle name under the moon.
Goodbye, Carter.
Goodbye, Wilson.
Goodbye, Henry.
Goodbye, Angel.
What the hell is going on here?
Underneath your clown of a husband was a paycheck,
Maybe that was all that really mattered, hmm?

An arrogant, cold-hearted vigilante stands on one side of the border,
while a free-spirited security guard patrols the other side.
Oh? You need me to look after your son?
Yeah, maybe I could do it. If the price was right.
How can you trust me with your own flesh and blood?
You are on that side of the border, and I am on this side.
When you meet my son, it won't matter.
I guarantee you will love Him and want to protect Him.
Your son?
Okay, can we change the subject?

A ***** pond interrupts our conversation,
That simply isn't what I wanted.
You need to listen to us loud and clear,
We want you out of here.
Oh? You want me to leave? Perhaps we can strike a deal.
Yeah, Perhaps we can.
If you let me join in on the conversation,
I will have you praised by the greats.
Oh, God, no.
